โ€œInย the summer season, weย are pleased toย offer S7ย Airlines passengers about 30ย new flights toย foreign and domestic destinations. Weย have significantly expanded our presence inย Western Europe and are launching flights toย the cities which will arouse the interest ofย the most sophisticated travellers. Passengers will beย able toย travel from Moscow toย Bari, the capital ofย the Italian province ofย Apulia located onย the Adriatic coast, asย well asย toย Olbia and Cagliari, situated onย the wonderful island ofย Sardinia. Fans ofย ecotourism will appreciate the flights toย Reykjavik and Tenerife, which are dramatically opposite inย nature, but equally impressive,โ€ notes Igor Veretennikov, the Commerce Director ofย S7ย Group.

Atย the end ofย May, passengers ofย S7ย Airlines will beย able toย goย toย Turkey, which isย traditionally aย popular country for summer holidays. Daily scheduled flights from Moscow toย Antalya will allow travellers toย plan themselves their vacation with family and friends inย hotels, and property owners will have the same opportunity toย plan their stay inย their homes and apartments.

Traditional holiday season flights will beย resumed inย the summer schedule ofย S7ย Airlines. Passengers will beย able toย fly directly toย European seaside resorts, such asย Mรกlaga, Valencia, Pula, Dubrovnik, Ibiza and Kos, from Moscow Domodedovo Airport. There also will beย flights toย Barcelona, Palma deย Mallorca, Tivat, Larnaca, Catania, Rome and other popular cities ofย southern Europe, which are inย demand all year round.

Passengers from St. Petersburg will appreciate the convenience ofย direct flights toย European countries, asย there will beย new flights toย Pisa inย Italy, Alicante inย Spain and Pula inย Croatia, asย well asย toย Scandinavian capitalsย โ€” Copenhagen and Stockholm. Besides, travellers from St. Petersburg can receive 1,500 bonus Miles and more for each flight toย Europe1 ifย they take part inย the โ€œFly toย Europe with S7ย Priorityโ€ campaign.

Passengers from Novosibirsk will also have new opportunities. S7ย Airlines launches aย direct flight toย Larnaca starting 1ย May 2018. Cyprus isย traditionally popular with travellers from the Siberian region, and now passengers will beย able toย organise aย trip without aย connection inย Moscow. Inย addition, direct flights toย Frankfurt amย Main and Dรผsseldorfย โ€” major transport hubs, from where itย isย convenient toย continue the trip toย European countriesย โ€” will beย resumed.

Japan, aย country ofย striking contrasts, will become closer for residents ofย Siberia and the Far East. For the first time, passengers will beย able toย fly directly toย Tokyo from Novosibirsk and Irkutsk and will again get the opportunity toย fly directly toย Osaka from Vladivostok.

S7ย Airlines continues toย develop interregional air carriages performed onย modern Embraer 170ย aircraft. Passengers will beย able toย travel toย Samara, Kazan, Ufa, Krasnoyarsk, Tomsk from Novosibirsk and toย Murmansk and Perm from St. Petersburg.
